Since 2015, millions of money pots have been organised with Lydia, with no unpleasant surprises for participants.
Publish, share, and track your money pot with the Lydia mobile app.
Your loved ones don't need to create an account or download an app to contribute. They will have a wide choice of payment options, including debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and even bank transfers.
Everything participants give is credited to your money pot. Participants will not be charged any fees or asked to make a donation.
When withdrawing the collected funds, contributions made using Lydia apps carry no service fees. The same applies if you choose an Amazon.fr gift card. In all other cases, a 4% fee will apply.

No. With Lydia money pots, you can contribute directly using a debit and credit card or bank transfer, even without a Lydia account. This allows all guests to easily contribute to a money pot for a birthday, wedding, birth, or farewell party.
Yes. The contributors' names are known only to the organiser. No participant can see who else has contributed. It's ideal for maintaining privacy while participating in a group gift. All participants can see is the total amount collected, provided the organiser allows it.
Participants never pay any fees: everything they contribute goes straight to the money pot. Fees may apply only when the organiser withdraws the funds, ranging between 0% and 4%.
The money contributors add to a Lydia money pot is available instantly in the organiser's app. They can then use the funds immediately by making a bank transfer or purchasing an Amazon.fr gift card.
Each Lydia money pot has a unique share link. You can easily send it via WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, Messenger, or email to invite your loved ones to contribute in just a few seconds. All they need to do is open it on a computer or smartphone to participate.
The amount depends mostly on your relationship with the person and the type of event. For a birthday or farewell money pot, contributions usually range between €10 and €30. For a wedding or birth, amounts can be higher depending on how close you are to the organisers and, above all, to the recipient of the money pot. It is also possible to contribute in multiple instalments, if someone wishes to contribute a larger amount.
